41, possibly pregnant, scared

[40andprettybored]

I thought I was going through peri menopause or menopause but I'm 11 days late and I feel pregnant. Very sore breasts. Absolutely knackered. Feel sick.

I have 2 kids who are nearly secondary school age. Im scared about :

Peoples reactions - family, work
Work
My age
Miscarrying

Basically everything. Husband has gone to get a test. I can't say anything to anyone so I'm putting it here hoping for reassurance and support.

I had my first at 41 OP ! Congratulations.

So pleased for you! Congratulations ☺️

Four children in my current class (Year 3) have two or three siblings at secondary school/university. Seems like a later surprise baby is a thing! Congratulations.

Huge congratulations 🌷

Congratulations! Had my second baby at that age after a long gap. Yes people may have different reactions but if you are happy that is what matters. X

Congratulations!

congratuations!!

You’re both happy, that’s what matters. People maybe surprised but I’m sure they will be happy for you. I also don’t think you’re old to have a baby. Good Luck.

Congratulations 🎊
